Identification of novel neuroendocrine markers by gene expression profiling

ABSTRACT: (This section will be revisited in good time prior to publication, for final approval) Research within the field of functional genomics provides a more profound understanding of living organisms, by elucidating the interaction between genes and gene products. This is of increasing importance in many fields, and especially within cancer research. With the use of microarray technology, the gene expression of a vast number of genes can be measured simultaneously. This allows us insight into tumor biology, and an opportunity to obtain knowledge of diagnostic and prognostic value, as well as hints towards the causes of cancer. In this study the gene expression in a selection of human neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine tumor cell lines were compared. Both qualitative and quantitative me
